Clean and Effective Governance
Our community deserves government that is accountable, effective, and whose
workings are transparent and free of patronage and favoritism. The cynicism,
short-term thinking, and insider politics that have diminished people's esteem
for our government must come to an end. I will restore ethics, integrity,
accountability, and responsiveness to the office. I support "real"
campaign finance reform, full public funding of elections, instant Run-off
voting, equal media access for all candidates and same-day voter registration.
I do not take "corporate" contributions.
Environment
I will work to make our district a more sustainable community by championing
green energy and business practices, protecting scarce natural resources from
further degradation by pollution and overuse, and making the community a healthy
place for all of its residents. I will work towards an approach that addresses
the depletion of finite resources like fuels, minerals, and species and that
addresses the increasing pollution of our atmosphere, water, and soil
Health Care For All
I believe everyone has a right to health care. Health care for all is a simple
idea! While simple, the reality is that hundreds of thousands of people in
Oregon do not have access to the health care they need. I will work towards
that goal by expanding individual and family coverage options, streamlining
the insurance bureaucracy, and establishing tax incentives to small businesses.
